So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Four Easy to Create Home Decor Accessories

By Brittany Kooistra

Chances are that if you're really into interior design, you've heard of wall stamps, also referred to as wall words, or vinyl wall lettering. If not, then you're missing out on some of the most versatile, elegant, and inexpensive ways to transform the atmosphere of your home. Furthermore, you can use wall stamps without the need to drastically alter your walls via painting, etc. I believe that vinyl wall words are the most versatile medium to hit the interior design industry in the last 10 years. There are just too many home dcor related things you can do with vinyl lettering.

Because wall stamps are literally lettering, logos, graphics and shapes made from adhesive vinyl, there are so many things you can do with it. The vinyl has a sticky back that adheres to walls, mirrors, wooden plaques, or any other hard surface that isnt extremely porous. As long as its properly installed, this lettering can last for years (or minutes if you prefer), and is removable without damaging the walls of your home. With that said, lets explore some of the most conventional ways to use wall stamps to decorate your home.

Wall lettering is possibly the most popular way to use walls stamps for home dcor. You can use the vinyl lettering, which is available in a lot of different fonts, colors, and sizes to add a hand painted stenciled look to your walls. While the wall lettering does look hand painted, its easy to install, with no mess, and isnt permanent " it can be removed whenever youd like, no repainting, and no damaged walls. Furthermore, most online retailers, such as Wall Stamps, let you choose from either pre-designed lettering kits, or allow you to create your own custom lettering with your choice of the saying, size, font, and color.

Another popular way to utilize the vinyl in your home dcor is your childrens bedrooms, nurseries, and play areas. With fun shapes and graphics available in a number of colors, shapes, and sizes, there is virtually NO LIMIT to what you can create. Easily decorate a nursery by having wall lettering created to create a border with a favorite childrens song, or put a large tree on the wall of your childs room. Your options are truly endless because of all the custom options available. If you can imagine it, you can create it with Wall Stamps.

One common concern that we often hear when helping someone with designing a room, is that they are renting, so they don't want to spend money on something they'll have to remove, or leave behind when they move. The perfect solution for this is to create a home dcor sign. The vinyl lettering found at Wall Stamps is perfect for creating decorative signs for your home. Unlike the wall lettering, decorative signs can be taken with you wherever you go, and the make the perfect wedding gift as well.

Along the same lines as decorative signs, decorative tiles are also another great way to use wall stamps vinyl lettering to create custom home dcor. Decorative tiles are simply ceramic tiles that have vinyl lettering applied to them, usually with a favorite quote, and is thus transformed into a beautiful custom dcor plaque. These decorative tiles really add a lot of charm to entry way tables, kitchen counters, fireplace mantles, or dressers. Decorative tiles, like decorative signs, also make great wedding gifts, which are truly unique, and unlike any other gift the bride and groom are likely to receive. The tiles can even be customized to show a wedding date, etc.

These are just a few of the most common ways that people use vinyl in home dcor, but in reality, the opportunities are endless. Literally, if you can imagine it, you can create it with vinyl, and for a price that is much less than you might expect.
